Fermentis Safale K-97 is a German ale yeast selected for its ability to form a large firm head when fermenting. Suitable to brew ales with low esters and can be used for Belgian type wheat beers. Its lower attenuation profile gives beers with a good length on the palate.

Apparently this has been available for commercial brewers for a long time. I used it for a blond/kolsch and was pleased with the results. It is clean when fermented at 60 and I got good attenuation. I lagered it so I didn't have to worry about flocculation. I'm going to use it on all of my pseudo lagers mashing at 148. (Posted on 8/9/2016)
